DRIVING ON THE LONGBEACH FREEWAY WHEN BOTH AIRBAGS EXPLODED. THERE WAS NO ONE TO HELP ME WITH THE PROBLEM THAT I COULD FIND, NOR COULD I FIND ANYONE TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH MY 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA. I GOT A NUMBER OF BRUISES TO MY FACE AND BODY. HAVE WITNESS AND DAUGHTER. WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WERE PROBLEMS IN THE PAST ON RECALLED BAGS BUT NOTHING FOR 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA'S. *TR

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
